It seems better when it's on an exchange like Binance, because they cover you when it gets stolen.

I would expect every phone I buy to be the best phone I've ever used. That's how technology works, isn't it?

That is not how the procedures work, so the driver would be fired as soon as they did that.

Every train network has situations where drivers are authorised to proceed against a red signal. Not usually at full speed though.

It sounds good, but...what the hell is it talking about?

The "Huge range in intonation and speed." example. "I had another ollie special". "I ordered a French vanilla latte, special from Maude [or is that Aldi?], springs and waffles, granny smith"...wtf does any of this mean?

She takes a sip of something and her "mouth is on fire...from all the sugar". She repeatedly calls herself "a ding".

> These requests do go out:

> Shazam (Apple): a short signature of the music app's sound, not the audio and never your mic, to name a song OnKey hasn't learned when the music app doesn't say what's playing.

> LRCLIB: the song's artist, title, album and length, to fetch lyrics.

> iTunes Search and Lookup (Apple): an artist and title, or the ID Shazam returned, for covers and the song's length. The cover images come from Spotify's, Apple's or YouTube's image hosts.

> GitHub: a check for a new version a minute after launch and once a day, and its download.

I really appreciate this level of transparency. Wish it was the standard.

Not sure what the "this" is that you think zoning didn't "solve" exactly. Where I live (Melbourne, Australia), I think zoning does work pretty effectively. Industry builds in industrial zones, houses and apartments get built in residential zones. Fortunately (I think) the government is generally on the side of increasing the density and changing the rules to make it possible, so we don't have a San Francisco type situation where no one can build anything because the residental lobbies are so powerful.

The pain points for us are to do with attempting to increase the density of the city, which means building apartment buildings where there used to be just single story houses with backyards - something those residents don't like. Or the complexities of big projects like new train lines, that impact an awful lot of stuff around them.

But in general, a lot of stuff is getting built, it's just expensive.

The strangest thing axout your post is the lack of curiosity about whether or not bread is, in fact, bad for ducks.

Making them completely non functional? Even in private homes?

It probably also is. But easier to enforce at the time of capture.

Not necessarily in real time though
